Do I have to go page by page?? For example if I am searching for "McCombs" can I jump around until I find the Mc's page. Does anyone know if under the different span of years indexed if all the Mc's are together or are they scattered around?? Also I used the following Google search formula that was posted by Greg Mathews other day: 3) How to restrict a Google search to a single web site or domain: We all use google or similar search pages to find things related to our genealogy research, but how often do we get TONS and TONS of results that are of no interest to us? A lot. Wouldn't it be really useful if you could restrict a search to a single web site? Let's say you only want to search rootsweb (sure they have search links for everything, but I don't think they have a single search to look at everything at once) or you only want to search the forums at genealogy.com. There are several different ways to search for different things so I'll show all the ones that come to mind with examples for each: The first again uses my web site to search for the surname "Pace": site:bluntrazor.com Pace The search returns 11 results and the search box on my site returns 12 so google does pretty good with that one (always remember that google can only return results for pages that it has indexed and there is no guarantee that it has indexed every single page on a web site.) I used the Greenville Co site web address instead of the above and looked for McCombs.. said it found nothing. So I really don't know if nothing was there or I did it wrong.. Any help appreciated!!!!
